IMMANUEL WALLERSTEIN on “The Search for National Identity in West Africa” and MELVILLE J. HERSKOVITS on the role of culture-pattern in the African acculturative experience — two of the field’s founding figures in a single issue. Dr Olumbe Bassir of Ìbàdàn writes on African dietetics and cultural nationalism; Georges Fischer on trade unions and decolonisation; and PAULIN SOUMANOU VIEYRA, the pioneer of African cinema criticism, on “The Cinema and the African Revolution”. The Palaver section reports the 11th UNESCO Conference, the Congo at the UN, the Brazzaville Conference and an evening of African poetry in Munich.
